Vignettes are back!

 The Steveston Historical Society is hoping to remount the series of vignettes that were performed by SLSS students before COVID!  Students would present several scripted scenes based on the history of Steveston on Saturdays in the summer.  Actors would be paid for their work and so it is a great opportunity to make a little money and do something worthwhile and fun!

Let Ms. Kosar know if you are interested.

Journal #3 - Grade 8's; Journal #10 -- Grade 9 and 10

 I hope some of you got to see our play "Curling Up With the Classics for COVD".

This week's journal is about the play.  If you didn't get to see it, you still have two chances -- tonight at 7 or Monday at 7.  If you absolutely can't see it, I will give you options for the questions (in brackets after the play questions).

1.  Why is it called "Curling Up With the Classics for COVID? (If you didn't see the play, make a guess.)

2.  How does Jessica get COVID?  (If you didn't see the play, think about how a little kid might get COVID.)

3.  What does her mom do about it?  (If you didn't see the play, what should a person do who thinks they have COVID?)

4.  What happens in "Rappaccini's Daughter"?  (two sentences) (You can look this up online, if you didn't see the play.)

5.  What is your favourite scene in "Little Women"?  Why? (You can google "Little Women", read the book (it's great) or watch the Greta Gerwig (director) movie, which is great also, if you didn't see the play.)

6.  What did you like about the play?  (Remember, Ms. Kosar worked very hard on it, so don't say you hated it all, please.) What improvements could be made?  (Nothing is perfect.)

7.  Would you like to perform in a play like this?  Why or why not?  (The Drama Club welcomes everyone -- you can perform (Ms. Kosar will make sure you get a part if you want to act) or work backstage -- there are all sorts of ways you can help.  It's lots of fun and you learn a lot and make friends and hang out in the theatre without Ms. Kosar asking you to be quiet all the time.)

(If you didn't see the play,  talk to someone who was involved and they can help you. . . or listen to Ms. Kosar talk about it in class.)

Journal #2 for Grade 8's; Journal #10 for Drama 9/10

 Drama 9/10:

What are you happy with in your heritage drama plans?  Make a list of what still needs to be done and describe how it will be accomplished.


Drama 8:

Are you good at working with other people?  On a scale of one to five with five being fantastic and one being terrible, where do you rate yourself and why?  How do you approach a group assignment at the beginning of the assignment?  Are you a good leader?  Explain why or why not.  Describe a time you worked in a group and what you learned from it.

Also, if you missed the chance to perform your conflict mime and cannot perform during PLT, please write a detailed account of what you were planning on doing.  Include the plot (intro, inciting incident, rising action, climax and denouement) and also what you would have mimed (like opening your locker or packing a suitcase or wrapping a present or whatever).
